About Mohammed V Stadium
Mohammed V Stadium is a Casablanca sports venue with a long history and a central role in the city’s football calendar. It opened on 6 March 1955, designed by French architect Achille Dangleterre.
The stadium was first called Stade Marcel-Cerdan and later Stade d’Honneur. It took the name Mohammed V during the 1983 Mediterranean Games. Its history also includes renovations in 1983, 2000, 2016, 2019 and 2025.
Raja Club Athletic and Wydad Athletic Club play at the stadium, which has also hosted Morocco national-team matches and major international events.
Checking fixtures and buying tickets
Event schedules and ticket rules vary, so confirm the details for the specific match or event before you go. Casablanca Events operates and manages the Mohammed V sports complex for the city council, including event security, accreditation and crowd-flow arrangements.
For citywide events and sport, the Casablanca events calendar can help you place a match within the broader schedule. Use the event organiser’s official information for the fixture, ticket availability, entry requirements and any accessibility arrangements.
Ticket rules can differ between events. For example, CAF’s 2025 Africa Cup of Nations information required personalised tickets and a personal ticket for entry; those were rules for that tournament, not a standing rule for every match.
